+ Compute the lineality of this cone.

+
+ EXAMPLES:
+
+ The lineality of the nonnegative orthant is zero, since it clearly
+ contains no lines::
+
+ sage: K = Cone([(1,0,0), (0,1,0), (0,0,1)])
+ sage: lineality(K)
+ 0
+
+ However, if we add another ray so that the entire `x`-axis belongs
+ to the cone, then the resulting cone will have lineality one::
+
+ sage: K = Cone([(1,0,0), (-1,0,0), (0,1,0), (0,0,1)])
+ sage: lineality(K)
+ 1
+
+ If our cone is all of `\mathbb{R}^{2}`, then its lineality is equal
+ to the dimension of the ambient space (i.e. two)::
+
+ sage: K = Cone([(1,0), (-1,0), (0,1), (0,-1)])
+ sage: lineality(K)
+ 2
+
+ Per the definition, the lineality of the trivial cone in a trivial
+ space is zero::
+
+ sage: K = Cone([], lattice=ToricLattice(0))
+ sage: lineality(K)
+ 0
+
+ TESTS:
+
+ The lineality of a cone should be an integer between zero and the
+ dimension of the ambient space, inclusive::
+
+ sage: K = random_cone(max_dim = 10)
+ sage: l = lineality(K)
+ sage: l in ZZ
+ True
+ sage: (0 <= l) and (l <= K.lattice_dim())

+
+ A strictly cone should have lineality zero::
